What's your routine!?!?

I would be interested to find out how you go about using the forum to enter competitions.

Here's what I do - I sort the comps by end date and enter every comp I want the prize for, I'm usually doing this on the last day or day before the comp ends so I don't miss any added later.

Secondly I sort the main forum by view count and work my way from the top. This helps me find the most "valuable" prizes.

Please share your tips and tricks for effective use of this lovely forum!

I sort the forum by 'newest posted' and then enter all the new comps up until the last time I finished. Then I'll do the dailies, then the mag dailies and then the clicktowins if I'm feeling up to it. Then I'll sometimes sort by end date and enter the comps ending over the next couple of days that I may have missed or 'x'ed in my foggy haze that I would like to win.

I don't tend to sort the board. I tend to go from where I last left off (at the moment that is page 140) and then work my way forward. Sometimes I have a click to win or a mag daily site open in another tab that I click on for a bit of a break from the board for a little while.

I also have a little list in a note pad file of all the daily/weekly comps I enter. I try to not keep that list too long just the ones that I really would love to try and win.

My only routine is to pick up where I stopped the day before, then work my way forward to page 1.
After that, no particular order

First, persuade baby to nap and make a coffee!
I don't do many dailies, but there's usually a couple that I'd really like so I save them in a folder in my favourites tab and run them off quite quickly...
Then I don't sort the board, I just plough through til I reach where I left off... until the Fiendish Small Person wakes up

Literally me, word for word (including the end foggy bit!)

I am up to date on the boards so I just enter all the comps I want to enter that have been posted since the previous day. I bookmark any dialies I am interested in as I go, so I go through them every day too. I don't do mag dailies or c2ws at the mo so it only takes me an hour or so. I am not entering nearly as many comps as I was at the start of the year now I am not doing c2ws etc, but it was becoming a bit of an unhealthy obsession so I have backed off a bit.

I'm a bit addicted to my comping routine! Well, I'm addicted to routine in general!!

I get up, do the kids breakfast, then do my bookmarked folders of: Dailies, Instant Wins, BabyWebsite Dailies, HeyUGuys RC, Flikering Myth RC, Gleams, Entertainment Focus Dailies, and other RCs, while the kids eat their breakfast and get dressed.
Then I do the school run, come home and do WinSomething C2W, and then log onto the board and continue where I left off the day before. Lunchtime I collect the youngest from nursery, get home and do some lunch. He then has a little nap while I continue on the boards. Then at 3pm I pick my oldest up from school, and come home and do tea and spend some time with the kids.
They go to bed between 6.30 and 7.30pm and then I finish off the boards and do Mag Dailies.

On the very rare occasion I get onto the C2Ws I just go through each C2W site in alphabetical order!

:rotfl::rotfl:

During advents, I do my bookmarked advents before going on to WinSomething and the rest of my comping routine!

Did really well last year. Doing ok this year but nowhere near the level I was at last year!
